DIY: Travel dog bed

We made a very simple little travel doggie bed for when you go places with your four legged friend. While we wouldn't use (or recommend) that you use this bed in lieu of something nice and softer for an overnight trip, this little bed is perfect for a day trip or even a jaunt to your favorite outdoor restaurant to keep you furbaby from getting to dirty from the ground or a nice soft retreat while you eat.

All you need:

1-2 years fabric (depends on size you want bed)
Craft size package of batting (or you can get batting by the yard cut to size of your fabric if you want less waste.)

1. Lay fabric flat while folded in half. Cut around the edges of the fabric with pinking shears.

2. Lay fabric over batting and cut about 1/4" less than fabric with regular shears.

3. Place one end of fabric (design facing outwards) on either side of the batting. Line up the fabric edges as best as possible.

4. Sew along the outside of the fabric all the way around the bed. Trim any edges so they are more in line with each other.

Here is the end results

Like I said, it is a little thin for sleeping all day, but it's pretty hand for short day trips so you pup has their own comforting place to rest.
